Hot-Swap PMC Carrier allows continuous operation
The PP PMC/002 is designed to provide a cost effective and flexible approach to implementing standard and custom I/O requirements using industry standard PMC modules in CompactPCI systems.
Vertical markets include military, aerospace, scientific and telecommunications industries - which encompass rapidly changing projects that require a product family with scaled performance, long life, ease of integration and protection of the software investment.
"The VP 741/10x features the popular 500MHz PowerPC MPC7410 G4 processor, various peripheral interfaces, and an optional onboard high-speed Mercury Computer Systems' RACE++ interface.
I/O expansion is made available through the two flexible PMC sites", said Commercial Director, Jane Annear.
The MPC7410 processor connects to the MPC107 (Chaparral) PCI bridge, chosen for its flexibility and excellent performance characteristics, to interface to 2Mbyte of "backside" L2 cache, PCI bus, 16Mbyte of Flash EPROM, and up to 1Gbyte synchronous DRAM.
The VP 741/10x also features the Tundra Universe II VME interface, a 10baseT/100baseTX Ethernet interface, two RS232/RS422/RS485 serial ports, six 16bit general-purpose timers and a real-time calendar clock.
Options are available for conformal coating and extended temperature processor boards.
The VP 741/10x will support a range of industry standard operating systems; it currently supports VxWorks, to be followed by Linux and LynxOS.
A board support package is available for integration with Wind River's software development environment plus a VxWorks API for Mercury Computer Systems' MCOS.
